Verse 1
sickly surrender to
cola remember machines
shaky somnambulist shiver
out all your screams
go to the room with the
chair and wait for your life
scared that the voices i
hear may never be mine
Verse 2
seven december a paper
back letter recalls
you knew such happiness crashing
her loveliness one wedded fall
cutting through gray where you're
holding the pages amazed
cutting the picture to
ribbons in winter parades
Chorus 1
cold new dawn put something on
you're thinking faster than i run
now the more i get connected
the less i know who i am
and it feels like i'm the only one
Verse 3
the month has gone rabbits the
winter is taking my life
am i a passenger passing through
scenes in someone else's life
cold will outlast me
apartments are castles in space
warm with the void holding
court in a four poster grave
Chorus 2
pale new dawn put something on
i hate the shape of things to come
now the more we get connected
the less i know who you are and
i dont' think you thought that far
Bridge
they gave you a food stamp
for the air sucking
wound in your chest
all the best all the best

Verse 4
strange pale fighter you
only grow lighter in time
willfully silent declaring yourself
with your cold scribbled rhyme
making her find you beneath
all the skin of your mind
she's digging towards nothing
a hollowed out center in time
Chorus 3
pale new dawn put someone on
i hate the shape of all you want
now the more you get connected
the less i get who you are
but i don't want to think that hard
Outro
it's a lonely way to live
when you take what you
give and you don't give in
in a nation of promises
your anonymous promises
